4.4 WDS Bridge Mode

In WDS Bridge Mode, the ECB300 can wirelessly connect different LANs by configuring the MAC address and security
settings of each ECB300 device. Use this mode when two wired LANs located a small distance apart want to communicate
with each other. The best solution is to use the ECB300 to wirelessly connect two wired LANs, as shown in the following
figure.
WDS Bridge Mode can establish four WDS links, creating a star-like network.
Note: WDS Bridge Mode does not act as an Access Point. Access Points linked by WDS are using the same frequency channel. More Access
Points connected together may lower throughput. Please be aware to avoid loops in your wireless connection, otherwise enable Spanning
Tree Function.
